Teen inspired ATC

Here is my ATC that I made for the Tilda and Friends challenge - which is to create a teen inspired ATC. It's been a little while since I made an ATC and I forgot how fun they are ... watch this space as I've caught the ATC bug again!



I used my "Shine Anya" stamp for this ATC - coloured her with my copics and used Creative memories paper + stickers! I also used my new "glossy accents" that I purchased from Marcia
at the Stamp Spot! LOVE that effect and think you'll be seeing a bit of that in future here too!! :)

Oh, BTW, There are NEW Greeting farm stamps available now at the Stamp spot... and some scrummy looking Primas... check them out!!

Thanks for stopping by!

Kellie's Sketch Challenge again

Kellie has another sketch challenge going on her blog... and I'm just scraping in with my entry, as it closes sunday... you can scrape in too if you hurry!!

Here's Kellie's sketch:

And here is my card:


I had a lot of fun with this .... I made a window card - the Greeting Farm stamp - "Hope and Grace Sing" is on the inside (through the window)... hard to get the best shot of this card ... Here's another angle:

I'm still playing around with Aperture that I got with my new computer a little while ago... so sorry if the photos are a bit different in colour.... will get there I hope!

Thanks for looking!
